At first, it was boredom, and frustration because I couldn’t do anything, I See A Different You was on pause because we couldn’t produce anything. I had just moved into my new place and it’s beautiful. I have all these nice things around me, but there was, there was a feeling of unhappiness inside me, and that is when I started having an intervention and asked myself ‘’Fhatuwani, what makes you happy?’’ and the response was painting.” said Mukheli.
Mukheli continuued to say, “From when I was a kid I would enjoy painting, which was something I stopped doing six or seven years ago. I started painting again during level 5 of lockdown and that felt therapeutic for me. I felt like I was reconnecting with my younger self again and that brought a sense of joy that you can’t buy. The more I did it, the better I felt about myself and the mindset I was in.”
